Book Review

Title: An Iconic Superman story
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 20, 2022
Review: Doomsday is perhaps not the most inspired villain but I think he works for this story. Without an origin or any discernible motivation, the Death of Superman seems senseless and jarringly sudden yet also epic.

More specifically this is the story of the Death of the World's Greatest Superhero. He's the Elvis Presley and The Abraham Lincoln of Superheroes all rolled into one. He even has impersonators. This story, and the ones that follow directly on its heels, the "Funeral for a Friend" and the "Reign of Superman" really make you feel the absence of the Man of Steel from this world and the void left in his place which even four other Supermen can't fill.

I recommend this story less for its own sake and more for those aforementioned follow up stories. From what I've read, this story was written so that Funeral for a Friend could be written anyway.

Title: Kinda disappointing
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 18, 2021
Review: I remember when this originally came out. I wasn't a comics reader at the time, but certainly recall the media attention this storyline received. Reading it now, some 25+ years later, is a bit of a letdown. The story in this collection is just one giant fight. No real development and no explanation of Doomsday. Without that context (which I don't know), this story amounts to very little besides the climax after which comes a rather bizarre but sorta entertaining "magazine" that discusses Superman's death, the aftermath, and reaction to it all. Perhaps the story in full is more impressive, but as a stand alone moment here, it's lacking in impact. It's artwork is nice, but I thought there would be more here than there is.

Title: Nostalgia

Review: My review may be biased due to nostalgia of reading this comic book as a child but I really enjoyed it as an adult, too. I’m looking forward to the next chapter.

Title: Amazing
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 2, 2018
Review: Crazy to believe that it took about 55 years to come up with a character that Superman was not quite able to without falling to his death while delivering the final blows to each other in the end. I guess it’s safe to say that not long after discovering that he wasn’t actually dead.

Title: Dark Age of Comics
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 8, 2018
Review: This was it. This was the event that heralded the Dark Age of Comics in the '90s. DC Comics broke death in comic books and nothing was ever the same.

Title: Amazing
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 8, 2018
Review: I'm a a marvel fan always will be but nothing in marvel has ever come close to this story except maybe Avengers vs X-Men but that's pushing it. Really enjoyed this and will read it for a lifetime
